Petal Path – Lotus House
Coming Soon!
Lotus House is being developed as a specialized residential program for minor survivors of human trafficking ages 14–17. It will help address the limited availability of safe, long-term placement options for minor survivors in South Carolina.
The program is being designed to provide a safe, developmentally appropriate, survivor-informed environment with services such as:
- 24-hour supervision, safety, and support
- Individualized case management
- Medical and behavioral healthcare coordination
- Educational continuity and school support
- Life-skills and age-appropriate personal development
- Family engagement and relationship navigation when safe and appropriate
- Advocacy and coordination with DSS, law enforcement, healthcare providers, schools, and other community partners
- Planning for safe reunification, another appropriate placement, or the participant’s next stage of care
Leaving an abusive situation was terrifying, but I didn’t have to do it alone. My case manager helped me navigate all the paperwork, find safe housing, and provide emotional support every step of the way. The therapy sessions helped me work through my trauma and gain back my sense of self-worth. I also took part in the financial literacy program, which helped me understand how to budget and plan for the future. I now feel empowered and in control of my life.
